  • What We Do

    ICF Systems Ltd provides turnkey construction solutions utilising a unique and innovative method of insulated permanent concrete formwork. We provide free advice and design assessment of your project with our in house architectural and engineering expertise.

    Our site teams provide national coverage on all manner of installations ranging from smaller house extensions to multiple unit housing developments, schools and major commercial developments.

  • Cost Effective

    take all the factors into account, the speed of build, the strength, insulation, sound-deadening and resale value. It is cheaper than brick & block and timber frame.

  • On Site Benefits

    Depending on site constraints, materials are delivered to fit with the project schedule so that working continuity can be secured.

    Unlike off site construction there are no target delivery dates to be met and no lengthy lead times for modules to be built in the factory. Failure to meet a scheduled delivery date is not critical.

  • Health & Safety advantage

    Lightweight materials are used with ICF to assemble the walls. Injury problems associated with manual lifting can therefore be reduced.

About ICF Systems Ltd

ICF Systems Ltd  specialise in design, supply and installation of a unique and patented Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) system. The system consists of a inner and outer panel of extruded polystyrene board tied with a unique clip system. Once fully built to the correct level and suitably braced, the cavity between the boards is filled with a structural concrete to form a plain concrete wall. the formwork remains in place to provide a permanent and high level of insulation to the completed structure which in many cases will exceed the ‘U’ value required by Building Standards

Design Benefits

There are numerous design benifits to engineers, architects and to contractors and developers. Repetetive unit type structures such as student accomodations, care homes and social housing can be quickly formed in a minimum time frame speeding construction and reducing build costs dramatically. Designers have full flexibility with the system and can create unique bespoke structures tailored to individual client requirements. In addition, the primary components are formed from recycled plastics and the concrete infill creates significant thermal mass reducing overall lifecycle energy costs

Cost benefits

Depending upon experience of the installer and the complexity of the structure, average speed of build is around 2m2 per man per hour.
